Christmas Comes Early: I’ve Been Nominated For The Moose Award!
I got a very pleasant surprise today to find out Angela Finney has nominated me (more specifically my Spanish Gold painting of Big Al) for the Moose Award on Katherine Tyrrell’s blog Making A Mark. And no it’s not “a” Moose Award but “the” Moose Award. So named in honor of the first winning critter portrayed, Maggie Stiefvater’s Moose the cat.
I believe the nominations close tomorrow the 24th and then it is open for voting as to who wins the award.
I would like to say that being nominated is honor enough. I’d like to . . . but the truth is I want to win so get out there and vote!
Okay all kidding aside. Thanks so much Angela. I really am feeling all blushy and “Ah shucks” about it.
UPDATED: It seems that there is no voting in regards to the Moose Award. Nominations are taken and then Katherine determines the winner from those. So apparently I shouldn’t have sent you all stampeding over to Making A Mark.
Now I know it may only be the imaginings of my quirky brain that allows me to think that everyone who read this post leaped into action. But as I’m so fond of saying “lets not quibble over reality shall we.”
Sorry if I confused you at all!
This year is the first time I’ve opened up the process to nominations. Organising the polls for the ‘best picture’ awards is very time-consuming and hence voting is limited to those awards alone at the moment.
If I get more organised and find some more time I might be able to organise voting on all of the awards in future. However at the moment it takes two days just to write the posts out for the Awards!
Greetings Katherine,
No problem. I’m the one at fault. You provide such a wealth of information that I tend to skim. Frankly, I am constantly amazed at how much information you provide on a consistent basis.
